Great images! I just ordered the 135L and am anxiously waiting for its arrival. You're so lucky!

I have the 135 f/2.0 and have arrived home this afternoon fresh from Adorama in NYC with a new 1D MK III. The batteries are charging as I write this. I can hardly wait to try it out but for now will have to settle at looking at the mandatory "duck" images. Perhaps I will have that opportunity tomorrow. It is really good to see more and more people supporting the 1D Mk III. For now all I can say is "wow what a beautiful camera"
Good luck with yours I hope you plan on enjoying yours as much as i will. Now to change my "signature"

The clarity is amazing. I wish mine was that good.

I have always said that the 135 f/2 L is the sharpest lens now added to my 1D MKIII it can sometimes be too sharp for portraits but just great on fast flying close birds with the 1.4X Con.

JERK!, I mean that kindly, I love my 135L but this morning was wondering if I should sell it to help buy a MKIII body. It's probably my favorite lens on my FF body right now but thought it might be a bit long on the 1.3 for portraits.
